Are you a lifelong learner? If you work in healthcare, we’re guessing yes. From patient relationships to clinical collaboration, you learn – and teach – new lessons every day as a provider. But sometimes that on-the-job education needs to be supplemented with a formal degree or certification to get where you want to go. That’s where our tuition coverage program comes into play.
Continuing Education (CE) credits can help you keep your certifications active and stay current on new clinical research or care delivery models. But continual learning is also personally and professionally inspiring. As Malcolm X said, “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” Going back to school not only helps you provide better patient care, it can catapult you into the next chapter of your career.
That brings us to TEAMS – the Tribal Education Advancement Merit Scholarship, a tuition coverage program designed to help you or your family member reach your professional goals.
Unlike other companies, ours is more than a simple reimbursement program. TEAMS offers eligible Tribal Health employees 100% tuition support toward a certification or degree program at Arizona State University Online. There’s no need to pay a large sum up front; we pick up the bill from start to finish. A flexible structure helps you fit classroom time into your professional schedule, so you can continue flourishing in your current position while you study.
And if you’re done with formal education? You can use the tuition coverage to send your family member to school instead. Either way, we want to help you achieve your goals as thanks for helping us achieve ours.
Open a New Career Door
Here’s a breakdown of what’s included:
- Financial Support: For every eligible employee or their immediate family member, we provide 100% tuition coverage toward top-tier online certification and degree programs through ASU Online.
